A huge number of paramilitary forces – 200 companies – are being deployed in Jammu and Kashmir, some of which have arrived and others are on their way, reported NDTV.
As per the report, most of them have been deployed in north Kashmir and parts of Jammu region.
Quoting unnamed officials NDTV reported that there is no truth in rumours of the troop movement as a preparation for some big development. “These troops are returning from states where elections were held recently. They are being re-inducted. It’s not a new deployment,” Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar told NDTV.
As per the report, officials have said some 200 companies of paramilitary forces from Jammu and Kashmir were sent to states for assembly elections.
While fifty of them returned a month ago, and the rest are coming back now and being redeployed, read the report.
